you know, i hate to sound unimaginitive but really when i pay $10 for a
"music" show i want some sort of dynamic variation, rhythm and/or melody
for my brain to latch onto. i don't need 4 on the floor beats or happy
major key stuff but four 20 minute sets of "watch me layer one gratingly
digital layer of sound atop another and then filter it down to a rumble
and bring it back up again" gets old after the first set. experimentation
and textural exploration is fine, i have seen fantastic laptop based sets
by Ryoji Ikeda, Kevin Drumm and Nobukazu Takemura in the past year and
none of them were any less experimental than last night's show, but they
were all about 100 times as interesting.
just my .02c, i'm very interested in hearing opposing views
